Can you add the ability for proxmox to monitor and graph temperatures? It's the only thing missing from the node statistics that I want to monitor.
Feature Request - monitor temperatures

Another year later...
And there still has been no apparent progress on the open BZ for thats been open since June 2012.

It's pretty pathetic that something so core and basic has been completely ignored for nearly a decade.
I'm looking at which hypervisor to use and this is pretty off-putting.
It's gone on for so long now that others have resorted to patching in support for it themselves, see this other thread, since Proxmox developers apparently don't care at all:

So frustrating, why the metrics dont have the temperature for cpu, hdd ect......
Unfortunately it's not done yet. Luckily we can do it by our own.

Then install lm-sensors and telegraf with the sensors plugin. A lof of other metrics are not exported by the internal metrics logic, so just use telegraf and do what you want.
A quick question.
With such a flexible undercarriage that is Debian Linux, why look for such features in Proxmox?
There are many packages and systems that can do the temperature monitoring you're looking for and Proxmox can host them all.
I'd suggest an Influx DB + Grafana LXC that receives the temperature information you need and graphs it out in virtually unlimited ways.
Even if they did add temp graphing to Proxmox, it would never do what you could with Grafana.
Also consider than pulling a temp isn't that easy. Some HDDs use non standard reporting, NVME and others drives use different schemes, not to mention the myriad of sensors available from different motherboards and CPUs. I don't think the Promox team would want this headache.
